Guys, stop labeling and stuff.

Are we at war w/ ISIL? On @FaceTheNation, @JohnKerry says "I think there's frankly a kind of tortured debate going on about terminology."

Sheesh, rubes!

As Twitchy reported, Secretary of State John Kerry sparked much mockery with his absurd claim that the U.S. is “not at war” with ISIS. But wait … the times, they are a’changing according to his appearance Sunday morning on “Face the Nation.”

"Originally this is not a war. This is not combat troops on the ground," says Secy Kerry today on @FaceTheNation.

But …

Kerry says in the "same context" as US is at war with al-Qaeda, "yes, we are at war with ISIL in that sense."

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 14, 2014

OK then.

On Thursday, Kerry told CBS' @margbrennan " I think war is the wrong terminology and analogy."

Flip-flopalooza.

Today on @FaceTheNation, Kerry says it's "a waste of time to focus" on the "war" label.

As long as you don’t “label” it and all.

But you said RT @TPM: John Kerry: "We are at war" with ISIS, just as U.S. at war with al Qaeda http://t.co/aueszLTLKl pic.twitter.com/OigC8uru5v

These ppl can't get message straight "@markknoller: Today on @FaceTheNation, Kerry says it's "a waste of time to focus" on the "war" label.”

Yep. Let’s translate:

Translation: I give up. Dont know what we're doing. @markknoller @FaceTheNation, Kerry says "a waste of time to focus" on the "war" label.

— The 57th State ℅EF™ (@EF517_V2) September 14, 2014

Bingo.

@markknoller @FaceTheNation @JohnKerry We're so screwed.

— Sierra0516 (@Sierra0559) September 14, 2014

The hard truth.

And an excellent (but depressing) exit point:

How can we trust this admin to eliminate ISIS when Kerry and Obama cannot even agree to call it a war or not. This admin is a joke.
